The First Christmas Tree

"The First Christmas Tree" follows Winfried of England — known as Boniface, the Apostle of Germany — as he leads a small band of pilgrims through a dark, wolf-haunted forest on Christmas Eve in 722 AD. At a sacred pagan oak in Geismar, he interrupts a ritual sacrifice of a chieftain's young son, defying the old priest Hunrad with a single bold strike. What follows reshapes the lives of an entire tribe: the thunder-oak falls, and a small fir tree becomes the first symbol of a new celebration.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
